I do suspect my hands will get more ripped up should I crash, though.
Seattle Forrest You mentioned glove liners. Are they just thinner/wick sweat away easier? Do they offer protection in the event of a crash? Finger or fingerless?
I will say the ones I bought had full fingers and padding. Didn't like the padding. Maybe if it was vented better I'd have liked the full finger.
Just a thin, sweat wicking layer. Probably won't help too much in a crash, but I guess every little bit is better than nothing. I mostly use an older version of
these. I don't have trouble not being able to hold onto the bars, but I only wear them when it's cold enough to need them.
